World's Largest Walk In Wardrobe

The Nizams Museum also features Wardrobe of H.EH Nawab Mir Mahbub Ali Khan, the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad (1869-1911) which is also the world's biggest or largest walk through wardrobe which is one of its kind, showcases some of the costumes worn in the city during the early 19th Century.

A truly phenomenal exhibit in its own right, the wardrobe, is 176 ft. long and is made of the finest of the Burma teak. It is constructed on two levels.

The main building here houses the Nizam's Museum which also showcases stunning souvenirs, gifts, and mementos that the last Nizam received within a few hours during the celebration of the silver jubilee of his rule. From silver-plated models of iconic buildings in Hyderabad, hukkah sets and cigarette boxes, toys, candle stands, and innumerable such lavish items to the royal cradle and seat of the Nizam himself, you can find it all here

The Nizam never repeated his clothes and once worn, his clothes were given away. Therefore, there is no authentic record of his wardrobe. An attempt is made to recreate one section based on the photographs of his clothes and the historical accounts of that period. In the absence of any of his personal items, the remaining sections of the wardrobe are used to highlight the various costumes of men, women and children of Hyderabad.

There are at present more than ten buildings in the Purani Haveli. The main building which accommodates the Nizam’s museum is flanked by two long wings running parallel to each other. The wardrobe and the Nizams Museum.

Details

The entry fee is only INR 100, and they charge an additional INR 150 if you want to photograph the museum. It's ideal for school trips as the museum does not charge students.
